CURTAIN SUPPORT.

Application filed April 18, 1927. Serial No. 184,769.

7 This invention relates to brackets adapted for supporting rod members. 7

An object of theinvention comprehends means for securing the bracket in position for use devoid of fastening devices which ordinarily mar and detract from the finish of the wood work or'other'trin V Another object of the invention contemplates supporting members upon which may be carried a multiplicity of rod members.

With the above and other the invention further consists in the following novel features and detailsof construction to be hereinafter more fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawing andpointed out in the appended claim.

In the drawing Figure 1 is a fragmentary elevation of a frame structure illustrating the application of the invention.

Figure 2 is a top plan view of the frame structure and invention.

Figure 3 is a vertical sectional view taken through a portion of the frame structure and illustrating the anchoring means for the brackets.

Figure 4 is a perspective of the bracket per se.

Referring to the drawing in detail, Wherein like characters of reference denote corresponding parts, the reference character 10 indicates a frame either for a door or window.

The invention is designed for application upon the upper ledge of the frame and in carrying out the invention I provide substantially inverted L-shaped members 11 which terminate to 12. Said members are outwardly offsetas at 12 to provide inwardly and laterally dis.- posed bent upon then'lselves and retracted along the l' res of the initial formation and laterally offset at right angles to the members 11 to provide shoulder portions 14 adapted for engagement with the outer sides of the frame substantially as illustrated in Figure 2 of the drawing. The extremities 14 of the shoulder portions are extended forwardly and inwardly as at 14 to provide laterally disposed portions 15; both of which being arranged in parallelism with the portions 13.

Various types of single rods formed of telescopically associated sections may receive the portions 13 and 15 Within the ends ther of. In the application of the invention the curtains and draperies are hung upon the objects in View,

. the faces of the frame structures.

provide pointed, end portions portions 13 which are subsequently rods. The portions 13 and 15 of the brackets are then inserted within the ends of the rods. The length of the rods is then regulated and the entire structure is elevated to the height of the upper ledge of the frame and the pointed end portions 12 struck with smartblows to embed the mentioned ledge. The vertical portions of the substantially inverted L-shaped members will cooperate with the shoulder portions 14 to sustain the portions 13 and 15 in horizontal planes and to support draperies and curtains of different weights.

The invention is designed for application upon the various forms of window frames and which due to its construction obviatesv the employment of the customary fastening elements and brackets which arescrewed to Such fastening devices are usually left upon the frames when the brackets and rods are removed and which detracts from the finish of the particular frame structure. Y

The invention is susceptible of various changes in its form, proportions details of construction and the right is here in reserved to make such changes as properly fall within the'scope of the appended claim; Having thus described the invention, what is claimed isz+ A'bracket formed of wire having a substantially inverted L-shaped attaching por tion upon one end terminating to provide a pointed end, an outwardly offset portion formed upon the lowermost end of the attach bent upon themselves and retracted along the adjacent surface thereof and the outwardly offset portion, ashoulder laterallydisposed uponvthe'retracted portion in oppositely disposed relation to the laterally disposed portionand at right angles to the depending portion of the attaching portion, the extremity of the shoulder beiiigfoi'vvardly disposed in spaced parallelism to that of the outwardly offset portion and subsequently offset in parallelism to that of the laterally disposed por tion, and the offset of the extremity being bent upon itself after the manner of the retracted portions for the initial laterally disposed portions. v

In testimony whereof I aflixmy signature.

JOHN E. MOORE;
